Just to play this game a little further, the probability is probably (!) smaller, because those meteors are not distributed uniformly across the Earth. Due to the direction of motion of the Earth through space and its sense of rotation, most meteors hit the area that is facing forward in space. That's the area on Earth where it's between midnight and noon, with the maximally forward one at 6am, ie sunrise. Since I suspect, due to the way civilization works, there are more planes flying between noon and midnight than between midnight and noon, and the ones that are flying during that time are mostly intercontinental flights that go preferentially across the pole, there are probably less planes than average where those meteors hit. But now I'm just speculating. ;-)
